M4 Junctions 12 to 13: Redhill and Dark Lane (Bradfield) – Bridge Refurbishment

Updated: 16/6/2017 with amended closure dates

Long-term monitoring has found that the two bridges which carry the M4 over Ashampstead Road and Dark Lane, near Bradfield in West Berkshire, require extensive repair due to chloride-induced corrosion.

To address these defects and ensure the structures remain in a safe and serviceable condition Kier Highways Ltd, on behalf of Highways England, will be undertaking the following works:

m4traffic

Replacing the beams along the central reserve and longitudinal and transverse joints
Replacing the waterproofing material
Replacing the existing safety barrier (VRS) over the bridge central reserve

The scheme is scheduled to start in mid-February 2017 and is expected to take seven months to complete. Work will primarily be undertaken during day time hours, however some activities will be carried out at night when necessary.

Weekend Closures

Works include the closure of the M4 east and westbound carriageways between junctions 12 and 13 for entire weekend periods (9pm Friday through to 5am Monday). The weekend closures are currently scheduled for:

Friday 31 March to Monday 3 April 2017
Friday 5 May to 7th May - Cancelled
Friday 12 May to Monday 15 May 2017
Friday 19 May to Monday 22 May 2017 - Cancelled
Friday 2nd June to 5th June - added 17/4
Sunday 18th June (overnight) - added 16/6

Thames Water is searching for privately owned sewage pumping stations that would become its responsibility next year.

Some customers may not be aware that the cost and responsibility of their pumping station will pass to Thames Water so they want to ensure they're aware of them.

Update 5/8/2015

Small modification to the upcoming treasure hunt. After finalising the route earlier this week we strongly recommend walking, no bikes or horses please. However, you should still be able to do the route with a rugged pushchair etc. There is a stile on the route but we'll have someone manning it to help anyone over who needs asisstance with themselves or children, buggies etc

- Start anytime between 11:30am and 12:30pm from The Fox pub

- Barbecue at the Pavillion on the cricket pitch from 1pm onwards

- Peasemore Cricket Club on the pitch from 2pm onwards

The Peasemore Committee would love you to come along and experience a treasure hunt around Peasemore. The hunt will involve travelling approximately 1.5miles (a similar distance to last year for those who attended), you will be hunting for certain items and/or recording information as you go along. The route has been selected so it should be walkable and rugged push-chair friendly,. Some quiet roads, some set-asides around the edges of fields and/or possibly grassy country paths.

Teams of whatever size you want within reason, children under 16 are free but for everyone else we ask for a contribution of £1/person towards village funds.

If you don't want to hunt you're still more than welcome to come along, chill on the pitch and tuck into the barbecue!

The Peasemore Cricket Team is also playing at home against Buckleberry starting at around 2pm so stay on and watch the match, relax and cheer your local team on they'd love the support.
